2018 Educator’s Forum and CNS Summit

NACNS is pleased to offer this pair of meetings designed to stimulate national-level policy discussions on clinical nurse specialist education, practice and regulation. These meetings will be held at the Arlington Gateway, 801 N Glebe Rd., Arlington, VA.

In order to make the most of our time together, the agenda has been designed to optimize interaction – both between meeting attendees as a large group and in small group discussions. An emphasis has been placed on providing attendees with concrete and actionable action steps to move the CNS role forward as either faculty members or CNSs in practice settings. The successes NACNS has seen in advocating for the CNS will be highlighted as well.
